Hi Folks

check the artical again they are all in there, not all in the the same para.
They're not currently.



Text the article currently contains -
Acknowledging that pilots can easily find themselves under financial pressure to proceed with a flight in challenging conditions, Norton said that there is anecdotal evidence of over-confidence among some flight crew.
What GF posted, infering the text to be a quote of the article -
Norton said that pilots can easily find themselves under financial pressure to proceed with a flight in challenging conditions and that there is anecdotal evidence of over-confidence among some flight crew.

Sorry to appear pedantic

"Acknowledging" is not the same as having "said".

Such mis-attributions can have reputationally damaging consequences.



Entirely hypothetically -
taking an extreme perspective,
a fictional conversation could run as follows -

Journalist - I've heard it said - That you are a bunch of cocky barstewards, just in it for the money, who'll fly in any conditions.

Respondent - Thats anecdotal.

Hypothetically, you could extrapolate that acknowledgement
into the text contained in the original article.



My point was
a "quote" is no longer a valid "quote"
if its been selectively edited / rewritten to match some POV.
